圖錄文章
Patek Philippe’s reference 130 is certainly one of the brand’s most iconic and recognizable chronographs as it subtly merges the "Calatrava" case design with the sporty elegance of a chronograph. In production for close to 30 years, reference 130 was made in stainless steel, yellow and pink gold with a diverse range of different dial variations.

One interesting observation to note is that the lugs of the stainless steel version are different from the all other case materials. They are slightly thicker and shorter in design gives this classic time piece a sportier look.

The present time piece is a highly appealing example featuring a superb two-tone silvered sector dial cased in stainless steel are considered as one of the most desirable combinations for collectors. The dial with the long signature and scales are in hard, raised enamel along with all the printing present on the dial and the case has not been subjected to careless polishing.

Close inspection and research reveals that the present watch was originally sold in the sold in the United States, confirmed by the ‘PXP’ export mark on the balance bridge of the movement but also by the tachymetre calibrated in miles rather than kilometers, a rare feature reserved for Patek Philippe chronographs intended for the U.S. market.

The present lot is offered in outstanding condition and accompanied by its presentation box.
